New types for Space?

Now that I've fixed up the issues with Space: the Convergence's keywords list, I figure I may ask: Are there any new types any of you can think of that you'd want for the template?

The rules here are simple:

Any suggestion you make needs to come with a rationale for why you think it would benefit the template or (to a lesser extent) StC/MtG. Note that since this is Space, I'm not going to be as gripy about the rules, which at this point are the M:tG equivalent of Calvinball.

If the type you suggest requires a new template to function properly (such as Warlords {Planeswalkers}), onus is on you to provide blanks for the template.

Card types must include the MtG equivalent in brackets after the S:tC name. (i.e. Unit {Creature}).

Every subtype must have general appeal (i.e. it's not tied to a specific setting). "Anthroform" is okay, "Klingon" isn't. (Yes, I know the link is probably unnecessary...)

Subtypes don't have to be core-set safe (i.e. one-off gimmick subtypes are okay, such as Trap).

Cyborg would definitely be a racial type. Cyborg Patrol. Cyborg Warrior. Most sci-fi works take the view that becoming a cyborg makes you stop being human (or be less human).

Online dictionaries abound. It's time to start using them.

I can work with that (Tribal -> Taxon), and have made the change accordingly. Though I will note that I stuck with Tribal largely because of the number stories dealing with un-uplifted species, most of whom did indeed have a more tribal structure. Taxon still works for this, though, as the implication is more along racial lines.
